Networks
When you turn on the phone, it normally selects its
home network. If this is not within range, for example
when you are abroad, you may use another network,
provided your home network has an agreement that
allows you to do so. This is called
roaming
.
The ‘Networks’ menu includes a number of functions
which you can use to determine how the phone
searches for a network. You may also select a network
yourself from those within range.
Search Mode
Automatic Search Mode
The automatic search mode means that when you turn
on your phone, it searches for the last accessed net-
work first. If this is not available, the phone will
automatically search for another available network
within range.
The Automatic search mode is normally the default
setting when you buy your phone. However, if you
need to activate the automatic search mode, do the
following:
Scroll to the ‘Networks’ menu, using the naviga-
tion key, and press
YES

Scroll to ‘Searchmode’.
• If ‘(Auto)’ is visible on the bottom row of the
display, your phone is already set to Auto-
matic search mode.
• If ‘(Auto)’ is not visible, press
YES
.
Scroll to ‘Auto’ and press
YES
. The phone is now
set to Automatic search mode.
To return to standby mode, press

The order of preference in which the phone selects a
network is determined by a list of preferred networks
on your SIM card, which you can edit at any time.

your phone, it searches for the last accessed network. If
this is not available, the question ‘Select network?’ ap-
